Hi C1pher, unfortunately it kind of is confusing, because you actually have to go through more then one program to make something by yourself work in SC4.

LOT Editor does not exactly design a building, but only edits the lot surrounding a building. In order to design your own building, it requires a different program entirely.
The most common programs used for designing buildings for SC4 are Max (or) Gmax. However to get stuff like parking lots or trees around your building, then your going to need LOT Editor.

Basically, if you need to do buildings with lots, your just going to want view this: http://www.sc4devotion.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=44&Itemid=

Sadly however, because your computer seems unable to read the registry, I don't know if your going to be able to install the other programs for SC4 on your computer. Unless someone else has better resolutions, it felt like you needed an answer. Do you at least have a picture of what you wanted to design?

C1pher, once you have downloaded others SC4 buildings, find your Documents folder, go inside, there should be a SimCity 4 folder. In the SimCity 4 folder, you should see a folder called "Plugins"

You finally put other people's SC4 buildings in the Plugins folder.

There are other times you will download stuff and you will get an executable .exe installer file. In this situation, you just have to be aware of what your about to do, and run the installer at your own discretion. The installers usually automatically locate your Plugins folder, and ask you to continue. The Network Addon Mod is an SC4 download that uses an installer file. 

Other people's stuff usually have some sort of read me instructions. I hope I explained this properly, and this all works out for you.
